No sir, it's not been proven, it has been claimed, it has been alleged.
It has not been proved.
The towers were designed to withstand strikes from airliners, and the buildings performed as designed. The buildings met the fire code, and fire code enforcement paid off. That is why the firemen ascended a 110 story modern building with fires burning on a few floors--no modern building has ever collapsed from fires burning on a few floors. Indeed, a handful of modern buildings in the US and elsewhere have burned for many long hours and not collapsed. Some were repaired and put back into service.
Neither you nor NIST has proved anything at all except gross ignorance of how buildings perform during fire.
You have made false allegations and have proved nothing at all except an embarrassing dishonesty.

How does an office fire 93 stories up cause a spontaneous collapse of all 110 stories in 10-11 sec ?
Only people without degrees talk like this.
You have only to ask your local fire department why they won't enter a burning Walmart and you will have your answer.

Can you post a close up p picture of the giant hole in the exoskeleton frame of the WTC buildings and explain to me how you believe that the structures were sound and the structural integrity was not compromised?
It was not just the fire that brought the buildings down. It was a chain of events that led to the design specifications of the towers to be exceeded and then total complete loss of structural integrity.
Since you seem so confident in your approach, I would like you to honestly post a picture of the damage and explain why you think that the towers should not have collapsed.
The fires, as you so repeatedly saying, were not the only factors in the failing of the structural integrity.
By the way, I am assuming that you can answer this without being embarrassingly dishonest.
Thank you
.The roof at Wal-Mart has no fire protection and is designed to allow it to collapse in a major fire. That keeps fire fighters outside with their hoses pointed at the roof.
Your degree told you the reason fire fighters don't go into burning Wal-Mart's is why the towers on 9/11 collapsed?
Only people with no common sense would say what you just said.

It’s proven.
You apparently don’t have the mental capacity to understand why.
And instead have decided that nukes and no planes make sense.
That’s nuts. These two factors go hand in hand.
1- inability/unwillingness to understand reality
2- reliance on fantasy to explain things you fail to assimilate.
So, Like I’ve said before, and like all truthers, you’re either:
1- mentally impaired and can’t assimilate reality
2- trolling
3- an activist and knowingly telling lies and being outrageous in order to draw attention to your “cause”
So which is it?

And the fire protection was blown off in the impact on WTC.
Whats not to understand?
Thin steel heats quickly without fire protection.
By the way some locales require Walmart trusses to be insulated.
And they are not "designed to allow it to collapse".
It's just a result not a designed feature.

Reason FF don't enter burning Walmart (and other "big box" retail stores ) is that the rood support are open bar joist truss
As stated have no fire proofing. The roof trusses would rapidly heat up and collapse in only minutes
Protocol would dictate fighting fires from exterior of building, charge the sprinkler system to try contain fire if possible
and use aerial ladders and master streams from apparatus to try control the fire
Wal Mart has insurance on building and contents ........

Did you just insinuate that the US governments conspiracy theory about who attacked the towers and how they collapsed is "proven"
listening to you psychoanalyze those that do not agree to you and your conspiracy theories puts you on a whole new level of bat # crazy.
I'm in awe with your belief in delusional conspiracy theories.

Are you sure you are not out to make conspiracists look ridiculous, because you do a damn good job of it.

I'm well aware of the old saw "a picture is worth a thousand words", but are you one of those people who need a picture to understand things? A picture of events from 16 years ago? A picture that has been plastered all over the internet and media?
Find your own picture if that's what you need. They've been around for years. And if you're really good, find some of those FEMA pictures that made it to the media for a very short time, but were quickly taken down. Those pictures taken by FEMA photographer Kurt Sonnenfeld who quickly becamepersonna non grata and was eventually forced to leave the country.
I am very aware that it was not just the fire that brought the buildings down. It is the NIST report that claims fires brought the towers down, not I. Express your accurate skepticism of that nonsensical story with NIST, not me.
